This commit introduces the MediaFile entity and updates the media attachments model, repositories, and related logic to reference MediaFile instead of storing file metadata directly in MediaAttachments. Controller, service, and SignalR request/response contracts are updated to support the new structure. Database configurations and validators are also adjusted accordingly. This refactor improves media management and normalization in the data model.

Adds PingHandlerService with memory cache throttling, IPingHandlerService interface, and service registration. Implements VerifyFriendship service and interface for friendship validation, with exception handling. Refactors CurrentUserService for improved user ID extraction and testability. Updates ChatsHub to verify friendship before messaging. Cleans up MediaController and optimizes UsersRepository queries by removing unnecessary includes.
